Kathmandu : A meeting of the Central Working Committee of the Nepali Congress called for today was postponed without convening.
The meeting called for 11:00 am was put off after failing to forge consensus over the issue of formation of Disciplinary Committee.
Before the meeting, an initiative was taken to forge consensus between President Sher Bahadur Deuba faction and senior leader Ram Chandra Poudel faction.
CWC member Ram Krishna Yadav said that the meeting was postponed after leader Poudel took the stance that the Poudel group would remain absent in the meeting if the members of Disciplinary Committee are not elected unanimously.
Another CWC member Bhishma Raj Aangdembe said that today’s meeting was postponed after further discussion was necessary to forge consensus regarding formation of Disciplinary and Election Committees. Both the committees have been looked with importance in the party. Each committee has five members including coordinator. The consensus was not forged in formation of both committees as both groups tried to make the committees favourable to them.
Groups led by leaders Poudel and Krishna Prasad Sitaula had put their different opinion in the meeting held on February 24, saying the sentiments of Mahasamiti meeting was not incorporated while passing the proposal of statute amendment of the party.
